will achieve this through global initiatives, programmes, and

partnerships, solidifying our nation's leading role in climate

action and striving to create a sustainable future for

During COP28, the First Annual Meeting of the Greening

Education Partnership, which was held at the Greening

Education Hub, issued a Declaration on the Common Agenda

for Education and Climate Change at COP28. Through this

declaration, member states of the Green Education

Partnership pledged to develop national education strategies

to mitigate the repercussions of climate change and to

leverage the role of education to achieve net-zero emissions in

the education sector.

The declaration also highlighted the member states’ pledge to

enhance cooperation in all fields to provide domestic and

international funding. This is to promote climate education in

a way that helps bridge the gap between the current reality
